Buying decision

EvCompass verdict

The main arguments drawn from approved data and the EvCompass editorial summary.

39.2 kWh and 167 Wh/km give 235 km, below the 390 km median among C-segment SUVs. Its 167 Wh/km consumption is better than the 181 Wh/km median.

The 451 l boot is smaller than the 520 l median, and a 44 kW DC peak means 47 min from 10 to 80%. Practicality remains, while journey pace requires a compromise.

Best suited to

Its strongest use is 451 l of space in a discontinued SUV, if 235 km of range and a 47 min stop fit the use case.

Strong points

  • Consumption of 167 Wh/km is lower than the 181 Wh/km median.

What to consider

  • The 451 l boot is smaller than the 520 l median.
  • Real range of 235 km is lower than the 390 km median.

Real-world consumption

Mild weather: 143 Wh/km

Cold weather: 196 Wh/km

Cold-weather share: 44.2% from the 1991–2020 climate normals, source read on September 13, 2026. IMGW-PIB source

The source does not state whether these figures include charging losses; no additional loss factor is applied.

Tyre ageing without mileage is excluded; seasonal changeovers are counted twice per year.

Home tariff

G11 — flat rate: PLN 1.10/kWh · source read on September 13, 2026 · Poradnia OZE; assembled from URE-approved PGE 2026 tariffs

Indicative reconstruction: PGE Obrót energy, PGE Dystrybucja variable distribution and variable statutory charges from the 2026 tariffs were summed net and increased by 23% VAT. Fixed monthly fees are excluded. The result is below the shared G11 range of PLN 1.18–1.32/kWh because it includes variable items only; published comparisons may include other charges or assume a different billing profile.

Method: we convert the car's baseline consumption and real-world range through fixed profile factors, adjusted for body style, weight, AWD and heat pump when those fields are available. Bands show simulation uncertainty, not a guaranteed result.
